All right, we can ditch the sunlight weakness.
And yeah it's cool if they can work on powers to make them stronger, but there should be a few more advanced abilities that only become possible with age. I also like the idea of certain vampires being born with random abilities that are unusual. And yes, generally stronger, faster, more durable etc bodies is great.
As for the control issue, I say we just leave it to the individual vampire. I definitely think they would lose humanity less and less as they grew older, thinking of humans more like meatbags for them to feed on. That would cause a lot to just kill indiscriminately. But it shouldn't be on the level that they basically become savage animals incapable of self control. If there were really these monstrous looking creatures running around with no control and eating everyone whenever they wanted, they wouldn't a secret for long.
Because there are significantly less vampires than humans, their existence becoming public knowledge is pretty risky. Like once you realize their weaknesses, they'd be pretty easy for humans to coordinate attacks against them. Like one vampire is going to succeed over a small group of humans toe to toe, but one vampire against a whole town or whathaveyou is pretty fucked.

So the Siring thing could be - when you're turned by someone you feel particularly strong feelings for (in whatever fashion), you're bonded to them. Or should it just be you're bonded to whoever turned you, feelings (love, hate, etc) or not? Or can siring happen only with positive emotions?
Should there be a small number of vampires who were initially cursed, from which all vampires can be traced back to one or the other?

Name: Mstislav Aristarkh Vasilyev Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 37 Appearance: [‘Casual’], [facepaint]. Aristarkh is 5’4” and 161lbs, which makes him a little short and stocky, but taken into consideration that he is a rancher on top of being a Hunter, it makes a sort of sense. Especially since that weight is muscle. He has black hair that reaches just past his shoulder blades and is almost always worn in a thick braid. When he is working, Aristarkh wears traditional clothes, but when he’s hunting he dresses to the modern standard and paints his face to be unrecognisable. Personality: Stubborn and overbearing, but with good intentions. Aristarkh truly wants to protect people, whether they know of the dangers or not, and will frequently go way out of his way to make sure that happens. If one can get past his bristly exterior, Aristarkh is a pretty sweet guy. Birthplace: small village on the Mongolian/Russian border History: Born in a small village in Russia, to a pair of misplaced Mongols eager to fit in their new home, Aristarkh grew up in a strange maelstrom of cultures that left him thoroughly confused for the first dozen or so years of his life. Unfortunately for his parents, there was one part of their history that no amount of relocation could remove them from: they were hunters of the paranormal. Monsters lurked the shadows of their lives in Mongolia, and when they had learned of their child on the way, they severed ties with their clan and tried to escape the danger, only to learn that it was everywhere, not just limited to the plains of Mongolia. And so it came to pass that when Mstislav came of age, he was brought into the fold and made aware of his family's business, as it were. He was instructed on how to find unnatural creatures and how to best destroy them- a very dangerous practice due to their quarry's often magical nature and a hunter's lack thereof. When he turned twenty, Aristarkh took his first prize by destroying and skinning a local werewolf, officially becoming a hunter in the same breath. Aristarkh then spent the next three years carefully re-forging the ties between his parents and the new Russian clan that they were creating and his ancestral clan, and learning rituals and other crafts that would help him to survive against any supernatural fiend he ran across. When he turned twenty-seven, Aristarkh moved to the states in order to follow a particularly troublesome rogue witch. It took several years to track her down, and during that time, Aristarkh set himself up as a rancher outside of the city, raising horses much as he had with his family back home in order to make a living as well as blend in a little more. The latter has been only arguably successful, as not very many people outside of Mongolia wear traditional Mongolian dress. Blending aside, after defeating the witch Aristarkh found himself to be rather happy on his ranch and unwilling to leave his horses behind, so he remained in the States. For the last ten years, Aristarkh has been hunting local beasties and training the occasional hunter that stumbles across him. He has also formed ties with a local college and allows their vet students to come and look at his horses for real-world experience. He offers riding lessons that are half-off with a valid student ID. Abilities: Standard human skills, augmented by talismans, etc., obtained through various means. Weaknesses: General human weaknesses. Other: If the horses don’t like you, Aristarkh won’t like you. Also, call him 'Aristarkh'. Not 'Ari' or any variation of that, and for the love of everything holy, don't call him 'Misti'.
